Our Blog

We originally started this blog (years ago) to keep track of the every day things in our lives that we didn't want to forget but knew that we would in time. As life got in the way, we posted less and less until March 2010 when Matthew's arrival rocked our world. Now we use this blog to let everyone know how Matthew is progressing and the big events going on at the Hoy House. We are so appreciative of everyone who has read our story and has thought and prayed for Matthew and for us.

Diversity Poster

First, I've already noticed quite a few differences between teaching college and teaching high school (and school has just begun!) but one of the most striking differences (so far) is that I have a classroom to call my own. In college, you are a nomad, carrying the tricks of the trade from room to room. Now I have my own space. No more carting folders to and from rooms (and my car)! So, for my stark white walls, I received a poster from my mentor. I have seen it hanging in many classrooms and therapy centers, and am happy to see that it hangs in the rooms of my other teachers.

While I am happy to include it on the wall of my classroom, as the mom of Matthew, I am also annoyed that this poster about diversity didn't include any diverse little hands. So, I added Matthew's.
